The US/ISaudi Ploy in Iraq Succeeds (At Least for Now)

Don't underestimate the wiliness of US Imperialism. The latest string of events in Iraq seems almost incomprehensible, US/Israeli/Saudi supported ISIS savages, defeated in Syria retreat into Iraq and run roughshod over the US trained military, loot billions of dollars of US military equipment, initiate a reign of terror against Iraqi minorities and threaten Baghdad. How could this series of events be orchestrated behind the scenes by the US and its minions?. It seems too Machiavellian even for Imperium Americana.

But look what has been accomplished by the cynical and diabolical use by the US/Israeli/Saudi Axis of ISIS storm-troopers in Iraq.

1. The Shiite hold on Iraq, an unintended consequence of the Iraqi War and occupation has been broken.

2. The Biden de facto partition plan for Iraq has been fully implemented. Kurdistan, a staunch ally of Israel, is being armed to combat ISIS militants. The Sunni triangle has been separated from central authority and Shiite Iraq is for all intents and purposes a rump state.

3. The al-Maliki government has been overthrown and a government more to the liking of the US/Israeli/Saudi axis can now be installed.

4. The IS initiated "humanitarian crisis" has allowed the US to portray itself as the "exceptional" protector of human rights in Iraq and "indispensable" savior of Iraq's minorities, who would have perished without US "humanitarian intervention." The US can now resume its role as suzerain over its Iraqi protectorate.

5. As a consequence of the above the Shiite Belt across central Mesopotamia from Iran to Syria and Lebanon has been broken, prohibiting an Iranian pipeline to Syria on the Mediterranean.

6. The establishment of the IS, its reign of terror over central Iraq, the barbaric mass murders reminiscent of Nazi extermination campaigns, the beheading of woman and children a la Japanese militarism during WW2, the actual crucifixion of Christians by ISIS, were all necessary collateral damage, needed to set the stage for what unfolded. Without IS atrocities none of what transpired would have occurred.

And what of the Iraqi Yazidi's? One day they are on the verge of genocide by IS. The next day Obama is lauding the US intervention as saving the day. A few bombing runs and the IS forces disappear into the woodwork and the Yazidi's are saved. Not to minimize the suffering of the Yazidi's and hundreds of thousands of other Iraqis at the hands of IS. But they were and are merely pawns in the game that the US is playing to be sacrificed when need be to further US/Israeli/Saudi hegemony over the Middle East.

Now that IS has fulfilled its mission expect to see it retreat towards Syria to be used as a reserve army of chaos whenever they are needed to enforce US/Israeli/Saudi hegemony over the region.
